[vsnet-chat 26] Re: EG Cnc - first one?

[Gary Poyner <gp@star.sr.bham.ac.uk>]

UZ Boo did indeed show two post outburst brightenings in 1994.  AL Com
displayed a nice dip, followed by a post outburst brightening in 1995,
(as did V1028 Cyg in 1995) and GO Com showed unusual behaviour in 1995 
with a trigger(?) outburst, followed by a superoutburst and post outburst 
brightening (it seems 1995 was a good year for this).  The light curve 
for EG Cnc is however the most spectacular I have ever seen, especially 
for a star which has been inactive (or so we think) for so long.

Increased monitoring of these fascinating objects by amateurs over the past 
few years have increased our awareness of this type of phenomenon.
